Is lock down making you lazy.....

GrannyLaine, I think the uneasy 'lazy' feeling is to do with my mother's 'Make yourself useful!' or 'Bored, are you? Right, let's find you something to do!' (followed by compulsory weeding, shoe or cutlery polishing - we soon stopped using the word 'bored').

Now, though, I prefer to think that I'm recharging my batteries. We're at the 'semi hibernating' time of year too, so I'm lowering my expectations of what I might do in a day!

This thread takes me back 65 years:

"Get your nose out of that book and go and play outside in the sunshine. Or you could polish all the silver"!

I always gloss over the unpleasant posts and just carry happily on with everyone else.

Never give those unpleasant post the oxygen of attention and they will eventually go away.

I’m sat down now, although I was out at 6.15am -still dark - with dog and been doing housework since.

Must sort out some Christmas biscuit recipes for children (they are in their late 40s?) to go with their advent gifts.

MawB ‘s a poet,
Did she know it?
It is a beautifully rhyming piece of prose from the talented lady we know MawB2 to be. ?

By the way I’ve enjoyed the Christmas adverts shown over this weekend. Has anyone else?
My favourite so far is DFS ‘s Wallace & Gromit one, although the John Lewis partnership snowman one is lovely too.

Sorry, this thread just took another turn!

The biscuits made me smile whitewave.
My favourite is the mcdonalds one puzzler, it makes me cry.

That’s my sister’s favourite too Galaxy.

Here's a little present for all who are feeling lazy in lockdown:

That’s great Callistemon.

If you’re going to follow Maw’s advice and camp out in Portishead I can let you my drive at very reasonable rates. Room for two vans I reckon!?

Well done, Galen, hope you turn a fast profit

Nice, Galen !

But if I come by bicycle............

Bicycles can be stored in the garage. Space for sleeping bags in the lounge.
Not sure how you’d get on on the motorway to Amazon from here on a bike though?

phoenix it is too cold to be sleeping outdoors, tent or not.

Yes I think that’s marvellous!

Oh, ok then Charleygirl5 I'll stick with the job I've got.

Galen , good point, I think some may have not considered that, but thank you for your most hospitable offer!

I'll remember that quote, lindiann, thank you
?

phoenix as far as I am aware, there is nothing wrong with your present job, Mr. P is gainfully employed, the cats need you and may I suggest you stay at home, paying the mortgage and forgetting about ridiculous jobs and ignoring the ridiculous because it is not even a joke.

Thank you Charleygirl5, wise words indeed!

I’ve realised there is one thing I’ve started doing since lockdown. Because I’d stopped wearing make up I hadn’t been putting sun protection on my face and my skin had become quite leathery. Then, having seen a thread of gransnet about B&B cream, not knowing what it was but then realising that I had actually bought some, I’ve started putting it on my face each day. Along with a bit of touché éclat under my eyes. It makes me feel healthier when I look in the mirror.

Moi? Layzeee?

This lockdown is life draining, although the only posotive it that i have an xbox, i dont like to play minecraft though as it gives me headaches. Fortnite does the job, sat on my sofa in my pj's all day i dont know what my life has come to. Love to go out for a walk but cannot be bothered anymore. ? For some reason during the second lockdown i have found horror movies do the trick. In this lockdown they show you things that make you feel grateful your not in that position and youre just in a lockdown. Im sure it will end soon when the vaccine is out im running to my destiny, not to worry ive always got the gin! ?
